  1. We're these Fauci's beagles? He likes to torture dogs

  2. There should be FBI raids and swat teams deployed to deal with all those research labs and anyone who sets them up. Those are criminal operations that torture animals.

  3. Beagles are wonderful pets.

  4. the company needs to be charge with cruelty to animals, they are not above the law, and the money will go taking care of the 4,ooo beagles the abused victims. It's really sad to see this was happening in the US.

  5. They’re my favorite breed followed by Corgis

  6. Weird how mistreated dogs still love people.

  7. It's infuriating to me that the USDA doesn't enforce crap unless its handed to them on a silver platter. So sickening

  8. They all now have a reason to wag their tails. I love the happy looks on the pups' faces. So sweet.

  9. Hmm… I think if there is a market for dogs or cats as test animals the puppy and kitty mills will simply move offshore.
    To another country where animals are not as valued as in a First World country. And I have heard vile stories about the local medical school involving animal use. Does it really happen? Don't ask, don't tell I guess…

  10. How can my wife and I adopt one ? He will be loved so much by us. We currently don’t have any pets other the fish 🥰
    And we have a acre on our property. We are in our 50s

  11. it's for science… erm.. pharmaceutical cos… erm… money.. it's for money..
    free west papua

  12. It's an absolute crime that Envigo and Inotiv, Inc. did not pay ANY fines or penalties!!! Where is the justice? This is a total fail.

  13. This is another reason to adopt from a shelter and NOT A BREEDER!!!

  14. Let's go! Great job!

  15. This is really great news, but I'm disappointed that this facility won't be paying any penalties. I realize they are shutting down, but I don't feel that's enough.

  16. I propose the beagle be made our national dog with the same protections as the bald eagle .65,000 killed a year no different than child molesters to me and they that do evil to beagles should be treated like them

  17. Fauci gave them PRIDE POX

  18. Can we get a follow up with adoption links at the very least?

  19. I have a home for one/two of those beagles. those poor dogs. thank you PETA

  20. B.s. if that had been me I would of went to jail. Just goes to show . Money matters!

  21. So when are they gonna admit it was their false idol Dr. fauci that was doing this.

  22. Is it legal to use dogs for research purposes? If so that's insane.

  23. How do I get one?! 💜🙏🏽

  24. Thank you for saving them.horrible people did this to them.

  25. How could you work in a place like that and still look at yourself in the mirror? I would have killed myself for working there.

  26. No fines or penalties?!
    No admission of guilt/wrong doing?!
    What bullshlt!
